TRAGEDY ON THE OHIO.
Feur Italians Engage in Fight While
Crossing the River and all are Drowned.

Feur Italians Engage in Fight While
Crossing the River and all rsDrOWned.
IRoNTON, o., June ia startling
tragedy was enacted near this city on
Friday night. Razzazza, Manuel * Co.,
an Italian firm, have the contract for con-
structing the Maysville and Big Sandy
Railway. The men employed by the firm
have been imported from Italy, and a
more desperate set of men were never
brought together. Quarrels are Offrequent
occurrence, and dmany have been injured.
At 1890 o'clock last night four of the
men left the Kentucky shore and came
over to this city in a skiff They visited
a number of saloons and all became
fighting drunk.
They wandered about town, raising dis
turbances ut various saloons, until mid
night, when they started for the river On
their way to the point where their skill was
tied, the men had a rough-and-tumble
fight, aud one man was knocked over and
appeared to be badly hurt. His compan-
ions dragged him to the boat and started
across. They had hardly pushed off when
the quarrel was renewed, and the few peo'
pie about the river at that hour heard a
shot followed by scream Of anguish. then
sound rs ola struggle, followed by quiet.
No effort was made by those who heard
the disturbance to ascertain its cause Ol
result, as the Italians had no friends among
them.
This morning one of the bosses came
over to look for the men who had not re-
turned to camp. On hearing of last nights
disturbance he at once instituted search
of the river, aud late to-day the boat,
blood d-bespattered, was found few miles
down, but no sign of the occupants were
discovered. Some little search was made
for the bodies of the men, but so far with.
out success. 1t is learned that two Of the
men had frequent quarrels, and each had
threatened the life of the other.
The theory is that the old quarrel was
revived, when one shot the other. A gen
eral row followed, in which the boat cap,
sized, throwing the drunken fighters into
the river. They were unable to swim, SC
all lost their lives.

A STAGE ROBBERY.
Three Masked Men Hold Up Missouri

Three Masked Men Hold Up Missouri
Coach Passengers for $3.50.
BALDWIN, ST. LOUIS Co., Mo-, June
l9.-The Baldwin and Manchester stage,
which runs from here to Barrett's, on the
Missouri Pacific, twice day, was stopped
this afternoon, about 6 o'clock, when re-
turning at about mile from Barrett's by
three masked men. The men were con-
eealed in the thick underbrush which
skirts the road on both sides, near what is
known as Sugar Greek Bridge, and as the
stage with its fifteen passengers approached
the robbers advanced with drawn reyolvers
and ordered Mr. Bennett, the driver, to
stOp and the passengers to fall in line.
There is some dispute as to the
number of men actually engaged in the
robbery, some of the passengers claiming
that there were six with drawn reyolvers
concealed in the underbrush, in case any
resistance should be offered. The masks
worn were made of red handkerchiefs,
with holes cut in them, and one man had
the sleeve of an undershirt drawn over his
head as the only covering. Considering
the amount of money and valuables the
robbers made a poor haul, securing only
about $3.50 out of an estimated 81, 500 IN
money and valuables in possession of the

ary Aid Necessary.

COLUMBIA, s. G.. June I9.-Rumors of
an expected outbreak of negroes in Laur-
ems county, which is in the northern part
of the State, reached here early this mOrn-
ing. Later in the day some excitement
in military circles was caused by the fact
of Gov. Richardson and the Adjutant Gen
eral having been appealed to for arms and
protection by the whites of Laurens cOun-
ty. Gov. Richardson received q eommu-
nication sigued by q number of white men
in Laurens to the following effect.
The negroes under the Hoover influ-
ence were organized in the county and had
formed number of clubs. Meetings were
held at night in churches from II to ,
O'Clock, and the buildings were surrounded
by armed pickets. Very ineendiary
speeches were made. 1t was pro-
posed that at a certain time gem
eral uprising should take place IN
the night the white men and old
women should be killed, while the white
girls would be taken rs wives and the
children made to work. 1t is proposed to
burn the whites out and massacre them.
The negroes were all well armed, the arms
being furnished by the clubs, and where
they came from is unknown. The mem
bers of the club are bound by an oath to
secrecy, and to diyulge anything is pun
ishable by death"
The Governor was told that an outbreak
was expected at any moment. A company
of cavalry, fifty strong, had been organ
lied, and the State was asked to immedi-
ately send rifles and ammunition. A SINH
Lar communication was received at Adjt
Gen. Banham's office, but he is absent
from the city. Governor Richard
son Immediately telegraphed Banham
to return to Columbia, aud he sent Col
onel on his staff and Col. ScOfin, Of the
Adjutant Generals office, to Laurens to
investigate the matter and report fully at
once. The Governor is prepared to put
one or two regiments of militia in the
county ON very short notice, and says that
if it is necessary all the troops of the State
will be ordered out, and he will himself go

Elephants on the Rampage.

WELLsyHLE, o., June l9.-During the
evening perlormPnce Of circus at New
Lisbon last night q panic, which nearly
resulted in much loss of life, occurred. a
baby elephant, which WAS performing, be
came unruly and attacked one Uf the
clowns, iDjuriRg him seriously. Ihe
trainer, who was coming into the ring
with another elephant, fastened to the
clowns assistance, when the larger ami
nal also started on the rampage
causing a terrible stampede. The contu-
sion for time was terrible. Men, women
and children yelling and crowding for the
entrance. Quiet was finally restored
when II was found that one young lady s
leg had been broken and several women
and children badly buruised. One OF the
lady equestrians, during the excitement,
fell in the midst of four horses she was
riding and was terribly injured about the
head aud chest. Her condition is preca-

slandering him to the widows ears anc
threatened vengeance if he repeated th'
offence.
Fiske occupied room on the second tool
of the hotel last night. No third party, SC
far as is now known, witnessed the fata
affray. Wales was unconscious and speech
less till he died, and his side OF the story
will remain untold.
Fiske says that he was awakened IRON
sleep by the movements of someone crawl
ing stealthily up the stairs. Opening hli
door, and catching in the dim light view
of a mans figure, he felt justified IN shoot
ing the marauder, as he did, without warn
ing.
Other inmates of the hotel say that just
previous to the pistol reports they heard
the voices of two men in angry alterca-
ton.
Two wounds, either of which was fatal,
indicted by shots from 32-callbre pistol,
were found at the post m0rtem on wales
body, one bullet entering the BRAIN
through the left eye and the other pierce
ing the throat.
When the wounded mans coat was re-
moved, in one outside pocket was found
loaded revolver and in the other an insect
bellows such rs is used for injecting YER
min poison into creyices, which was loaded
with CAYENNE pepper. What purpose the
deceased man had in entering the house
stealthily and carrying such things IS
matter of simple conjecture.
The affair, owing to the high standing
of the parties, creates intense excitement
throughout the neighboring county. Flske
is collector of the town and Trustee OF the
village of Liberty and previous to this, sad
affair has been held in high esteem. Wales
is one of the we'll known family of tanners
who have long carried on business IN
Sullivan county and. in the Swamp in New
York city.

The Baltimore Sun Comments Upon the
Presidents Evident Good Faith In the
Matter.
WAsHINrToN, June 1S.-The Baltimore
Sun, in commenting upon the rebel flag
episode, says: ''The failure of the Presi-
dents laudable effort to promote the res
toration of harmony between the two great
sections of the country by the return OF the
Confederate flags at the War Department to
the various Southern States is to be re-
gretted because of the outburst OF war
feeling which it has unexpectedly occs-
stoned. The Southern people had not
asked for, nor did they desire, the return
of the flags, but they would have been
gratifed had the presidents act In direct
ING their restoration received that hearty
and generous Endorsement at the North
which recent incidents showing the tx-
istence of a kinder feeling between the
two sections had encouraged the Presl-
dent TO anticipate almost rs a
matter of course. But the event shows
that however much disposed the South
may be TO join hands with the North IN a
spirit of Cancellation and fOrbearance, there
is still considerable element at the North
which is unwilling to permit the removal
of irritating memntOeS Of the war. Inc
incident is a most unfortunate one, Tor IL
seems to contradict the elusive utterances
of postprandial orators at reunions oil ex-
Union and ex-COnfederate veterans
and to indicate the survival at
the North in a marked degree OF
the ancient spirit of intolerance which we
had been encouraged to believe was rap
idly dying out all over the country. 80
far as the President is concerned, his
friends will regret that however innocently
he has been forced into an attitude which
NAV expose him to misconception on the
part of both sides to the controversy, II was
Unfortunate that he should have been IN
duced to give the order for the return OF the
flags without first satisfying himself OF his
authority to do 80, for his action IN re-
scinding the order will have the appear
ance, at least, of backing down IN the
face of popular clamor, but those VINO
have watched the Presidents course from
the beginning of his term will be satisfied
rs to his sincerity in asserting as the reason
for the revocation of his order that he Is
now convinced of the want Ofrequlslte au-
thority to return the flags"

That Causes Scandal.

Tragedy on the StAlrs OF u country EOtei
That Causes Scandal.
MIDDLETOwN, n. Y, June 19.-Mrs.
Sarah J. Wasim, fair young widow, who
keeps a hotel and summer resort for city
people in the village of Liberty, and all of
her guests were startled out of their slum-
bers at one o'clock this morning by two
pistol shots from the second floor stairway.
On rushing into the hall they found John
Wales, a prominent retired merchant Of
the town, lying on the stairs mortally
wounded, while at the head of the flight
stood Curtis Fiske, another conspicuous
citizen, with pistol in his hand.
Wales was carried quickly to his home,
where he expired one hour later, leaving a
widow and two children.
Fiske admitted the shooting, and plead
ed that it was done under the impression
that Wales was burglar, intent upon rob,
berry and perhaps murder.
Later in the day he.was lodged in the
county Jail at Monticello to await the &C
ton of the Grand Jury.
Fiske, who is a young, unmarried man,
has been pretty constant visitor at the
handsome widows hotel. and rumor had
it that the two were soon to be married
Wales, although q husband and father, had
been so persistent in his attentions to the
attractive widow as TO occasion much
scandal in the town. The two men bOrt
hard feelings toward each other, and or
Monday last had an alteration, in the
course of which Wales accused Fiske o.
